Issue #37 – Job Opportunities
by L. Swift and Jeff McQ
As Graylyn “Gino” Claiborne was finishing up his Recording Connection apprenticeship at Metro 37 Studios in Detroit, MI, he got the opportunity of a lifetime when his mentor Kevin Sharpe offered him a permanent position as a staff engineer at the studio!
“The job was offered to me on a random day I was at the studio for class,” says Gino. “Kevin told me everyone liked me and they wanted to bring me on board! I was very excited about it and I still am. I think what influenced their decision was the fact that I’m an artist and producer myself, so that does nothing but add to the experience and the know-how for engineering and creating a comfortable environment for clients.”
While already gainfully employed at this point, Gino is showing no signs of slowing down on his studies or his musical projects. He’s currently working on a project called Visions, and is continuing with Recording Connection into the Master’s program.
“The knowledge I have received from RRFC was absolutely amazing,” he says. “There’s still so much for me to learn but I have definitely benefitted from this program.”
As excited as we are for Gino, his success story is one among many. The mentor-apprentice approach helps many of our students get hired by the studios where they are learning—after all, you’re basically training for the job!
